The DR topic is not one that comes up often. I think execs really don't think about it or whether the corporate growth plan has an infrastructure support plan to go with it.

Mention to them that ANY planning without IT involved means IT cannot be responsible in any way. How do they expect the company to have a plan if they ignore the planning process?

The NTG Lab is prepping this week to a new colo, in fact!

In the Canada or NY area?

upstate NY, spitting distance to toronto

No, the nearest discussed location is near NYC. There are no datacenter colo facilities worth discussing in upstate NY.

whoops, figured it'd be at your hq

That's where it is now. Moving to colo soon.

Installed nvm as root and when i try to run anything related to that as a regular user;

Eg: nvm ls-remote
bash: nvm: command not found

To enable all yum operations to use a proxy server, specify the proxy server details in /etc/yum.conf. The proxy setting must specify the proxy server as a complete URL, including the TCP port number. If your proxy server requires a username and password, specify these by adding proxy_username and proxy_password settings.

The settings below enable yum to use the proxy server mycache.mydomain.com, connecting to port 3128, with the username yum-user and the password qwerty.

# The proxy server - proxy server:port number proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:3128 # The account details for yum connections proxy_username=yum-user proxy_password=qwerty

I think the Ubuntu store ruined it for me. It used to take forever to load so I always just did cli, maybe I need to try the Fedora store and see how it works.

On Mint you just click on the DEB, there is no store involved.

Ah ok. Ya Ubuntu used to load the full store (not sure if it still does) to install something. So I just started doing gdebi or dpkg -i or dnf install ./package for everything I downloaded.

I have my menu key on my keyboard mapped to the drop down terminal Gnome 3 extension because I don't use that key anyway. So opening the terminal and running it is pretty quick.

I'll have to see how Fedora handles that.

@scottalanmiller What separates the two? er... What makes Webmin not enterprise friendly vs Cockpit? (it has been a LONG time since I've used webmin and I haven't used Cockpit yet).

Webmin is a "third party unsupported add on crutch." It's whole purpose is to make UNIX graphical without using the officially supported toolsets. While that in and off itself isn't "bad", it's bad conceptually. It's purpose is to be a crutch for people who won't learn how to run the system and ends up being just like FreeNAS or whatever - just limitations and risk layered on top of the OS.

Cockpit is different. It is part of the OS itself, not an add on. It's fully managed and supported by the team that makes the OS (Red Hat, in this case.) In this way it is like the Microsoft GUI interface - still not ideal as a management tool, but stable and supported.

That Webmin is a huge, dangerous catch all for management and Cockpit is a limited graphical view of capacity planning with a few very simplistic management tools also makes them very different. Cockpit is not meant to replace being a good admin, it's meant to give some graphical views where they make sense. Webmin is meant to let people run an OS that they don't understand.

@johnhooks i really appreciate your help, i solved the issue by the mod_proxy module
thanks so much
this is the best IT Forum i have ever seen 🙂

No problem!

We used to do tons of hosting including VMs, email, instant messaging, storage and more - all if it gone now. It was a decade ago.

@scottalanmiller Im also trying to get gitlab to work and its on port 81... I just want to type it gitlab.gaultnetwork.com and get to the server...

Then you need it to be on port 80. Non-standard ports cannot be specified without putting them into the browser. it would be like sending someone to an apartment complex but not telling them the apartment number.

because there is no additional setting that i have to do with other computers, only setup MS office and everything is OK except with these 2 computers and maybe the number will increase in the future,

As a matter of fact,.. even with a CMS system, you can still use HTML codes. Knowing HTML structure is something that continues to carry forward.

It is 2016, not 1969-12-31, why would you do that?

It's about software bugs.

This one looks like it might work, but it still has a battery connector even though it's flash based.

"flash backed" means it'll store the contents of it's ram to flash when it goes to battery power, or am I missing something again?

Well that would make sense, but then Scott's early comment about NVRAM vs VolRAM wouldn't be correct, I wouldn't think - would they have three different options?

I don't know yet. I got a feeling he's talking about Sharepoint but not sharepoint??

That's my guess, too.

Thanks - I have one customer with one of these.. might be time to change to a ERL

It's an easy upgrade Just upgrade to the ASA version not affected.

Assuming said customer is paying the contortionist extortionist pricing for software updates.

This worked

import-module ActiveDirectory cls write-output "This script adds the destination user to all the Groups which the source user is memberof." write-output " " write-output " " $SName = Read-Host "Please Enter the alias name of the source user " $DName = Read-Host "Please Enter the alias name of the Destination user " $DN = Get-ADUser $DName -Server DOMAINBDC $K = Get-ADUser -Identity $SName -Properties memberOf foreach($group in $K.memberof) { Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Member $DN write-output $group }

Free is limited to 3, once you're paying, it's unlimited.

Exactly, so super limited (perfect for testing) for free or them a jump to $600/year for anything else.
